Match - Open - 10th out of 22 (5th - silvers)
As promised in my facebook status, this blog will be very short!
With the 1st round of the pole only series on Sunday, I
thought a visit to Acorns was required and when we arrived everyone was surprised to see the
venue covered in ice. So a hard day was in prospect for the 22 that booked in.
P10 was hardly ideal, being the narrowest peg on the venue at only
10m wide, but there had been a few silvers weight from the area, before the cold snap kicked in.
Along with the majority I struggled. My groundbait swim produced very
little, as did my pellet swims dotted around various areas of the peg, up and
down the shelf. The best area was next to the pallet on p11, fishing
maggot over caster, where I caught both my carp and the better sized silvers.
Hard to believe my 5lb was enough for 5th in the silvers.
At least I got a feel for the place again, but it became apparent, the fishing was hard. Hopefully it wont be long before the water warms up and the fish will have a proper munch.
